People make performance improvement way too complicated.

You've heard:

- Talent is key to success.
- More hours give higher results.
- Elite performers are self-made.

The truth:
- Deliberate practice, resilience, and strategy.
- Quality of preparation, work, and rejuvenation.
- Strong support systems, mentors, and collaborators.

And a strategy for each:

🤔 Visualisation: Elite performers are 2.6 times more likely to use visualisation.

📏 Metrics: Elite performers are 40% more likely to track progress and key metrics.

🚀 Guidance: 80% of high performers have a mentor or coach

Why?

1/ Visualisation enhances skills, confidence, and performance without risk.
2/ Metrics enable decisions for data-driven improvements.
3/ Guidance provides external perspective, feedback, and accountability.

Ignore the noise and concentrate on these three.

Now that we know the stakes, how can you get started?

What's really going on

“ … all of us hold on tightly to many things we don’t really have.” This line from Patrick Rhone’s book - This Could Help - got me thinking about our attitudes toward pipelines, relationships, and services.

Think Different

I love it when there's a seemingly Unreasonable Agenda. The Apple Think Different campaign epitomised this. Just look at the change makers: Albert Einstein: Questioned absolute space-time. Bob Dylan: Reimagined song meanings poetically. Martin Luther King Jr.: Envisioned equality beyond segregation. Richard Branson: Ignored business conventions fearlessly.
